Groove metal is great when you're pissed.
I need more angry music...

Ceremony - Rohnert Park.

That's the only album you'll ever need if you want to release frustration.

I, personally, am a trombone player who plays other brass instruments as well as a little bit of keyboard synth. I love playing classical, jazz, and electronic music with those instruments.

I play guitar, piano, and miscellaneous other stuff. The stuff I play is probably best classified as post-punk and post-rock.

Note "Work In Progress"

Besides, I've never listened to any of those before, or even heard of over half of them.

Sonic Youth are probably very important to a lot of bands in your collection. Check out Sister or Daydream Nation. The Pixies are amazing too.

The Paper Chase are my favorite angry band.

Is it time to vote on official starter of the next general music discussion thread yet?

Since everyone is telling me to listen to Sonic Youth, I'll give them a try...

Frisivisia wrote:Only started listening to indie recently? Not interested in decades before this and the last?

I've been listening to a ton of everything within the last year alone. I just, even with my frequent listening habits, can only do so much.

I'm interested in pretty much anything from any decade, but I'm also fairly picky.

Meaning don't send me 80's hair metal or pop.

Capisaria wrote:Not entirely sure but I got nothing better to do...

I posted one of the lists, which was still a work in progress.

I have Best of (Certain years), genres, best albums ever, best albums of a year, and so on and so forth.

Cadonica wrote:1-25 or random order? If random, I might be able to participate in this list "sharing"
If in exact order, I can't really do that, too many too good songs

I'm having a hard time making an order, soooo...whatever works.

Volmachtia wrote:Groove metal is great when you're pissed.

I'm not sure I know much groove metal. I know more funk metal.

Angry music can be fun, though

Especially trying to sing along to it when you can't sing worth a crap.

The REAL Glasers wrote:Also make sure to check out Superchunk. Nothing makes me happier than this video. Seeing my favorite artist of all time (John Darnielle) rock out and sing with them like he's their biggest fan gives me a feeling of glee that nothing else does. Their earlier stuff is far superior, but this video's a TV performance gem.

Will do.

Starter is the fastest one.

Volmachtia wrote:Groove metal is great when you're pissed.

If you want angry stuff, I'll recommend:
Napalm Death - On the Brink of Extinction
Unleashed - The Greatest of All Lies
Impaled Nazarene - For Those Who Have Fallen
Last Days of Humanity - A Divine Proclamation of Finishing the Present Existence

General genres, (at least for me when I'm angry), thrash and black metal and grindcore/goregrind.

by **Atletius** » Fri Jan 24, 2014 12:59 pm

For angry music I'd recommend Drenge, a new British band. V. Good

Gave a song a listen from both Sonic Youth and the Pixies.

Don't like either. Can't get into the vocal style.

Which songs? Sonic Youth have a pretty varied discography and 3 different people on vocals.

Teen Age Riot.

And sheesh, that's a lot of vocalists.

Edit: Oops, and Where Is My Mind? for the Pixies

So, I came across with this "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die" list and decided to check what albums it has. I've alredy heard 47 of them and I own 19 of them. Might go through the rest 954 albums... at least the ones I've been meaning to check anyways, about 50 or so. Another "forever project" for me.
Anways, albums I've heard, scores, owned (if I own):

Every album of those deserve to be there, even if I didn't give 90+/100. Those albums with 85+ rating are on my "shopping list" without questions. Few lower scored albums are there just for the sake of being legendary.

EDIT: See the full list here

Another 2014 album down, Bruce Springsteen's High Hopes. Enjoyable rock album, 80/100, highlights: High Hopes, Just Like Fire Would and The Ghost of Tom Joad.

You've got some pretty great albums on your list a post up, and I agree with pretty much all of your ratings (except for Nebraska - 74/100? WHAAAAAAA?). I liked High Hopes a bunch too - I think 41 Shots might have been the best Bruce song of the last ten years.

My favorite song is Barbie Girl by Aqua.

Funny you have Kraftwerk on your list, because I was trying to think of what krautrock band I was supposed to check out and I couldn't remember the name...So um, thanks for unintentionally reminding me?

Every now and again I must step back and marvel at the writhing mass of bands out there.
Reaming through old-ass bookmarks. A lot of it's shit, but there are gold nuggets here and there. Cream tends to rise to the top, though.

Anyone know a band that mixes harder alternative rock with progressive rock, and YES I KNOW TOOL
pls

Last.FM · by **Corrian** » Sat Jan 25, 2014 3:01 am

Hmm, I see 4 bands in this style I know and haven't really listened to (Already have a 5th on my list). Can, Faust, Tangerine Dream, and Kraftwerk. Are they all worth going through?

I can vouch for Tangerine, try their album Zeit. Cool, dark spacey music.

Hmm...Alternative rock/progressive rock isn't really a mix I see commonly, so I'm not sure if I have anything or not. Scrolling through some of my lists...

However, psychedelic rock and progressive rock seem to be a very common mix...Bands like Porcupine Tree CAME from being psychedelic rock to progressive rock, for example.

Serj Tankian?........I dunno, I don't really seem to have any good options (Other than Tool)

I think one problem with me "Going through" Tangerine Dream, as I mentioned, is that they have a shitton of albums...

So thanks for the suggestion. I'll find that album and give it a listen...

Their work on the Grand Theft Auto V soundtrack is pretty good, as well. Along with all the others involved, including the guys behind one of my favorite soundtracks (Red Dead Redemption Soundtrack)

Edit: Tangerine Dream has released over one hundred albums

Holy shit.

Indeed. Have you any curiosity, the prog rock band The Flower Kings has roughly 20 hours of music. And it's good stuff.
Have I listened to it all? Oh sweet HELL no. But i'm digging it.
